RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGES TO THE PROMOTION AND TENURE
POLICY FOR THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

The following resolution was adopted:

4873

  • WHEREAS the Dean of the School of Medicine created and charged the Task Force on Promotion and Tenure to review the School's current promotion and tenure policy and all related documents, and to determine what changes, if any, should be made to the policy;
  • WHEREAS the Task Force, comprised of fourteen senior faculty and department chairs, reaffirmed the essential elements of the promotion and tenure policy (which was last revised in 1976), and recommended the following major modifications:
  • (1) subdividing the existing "tenure-track faculty" classification into three new designations -- academic-investigator, clinician-investigator, and clinician-educator -- that more clearly reflect the diverse responsibilities of faculty in the Health Science Center;
  • (2) replacing the current "general medical faculty" (i.e., non-tenure track) classification with: clinical faculty, research faculty, and instructional faculty;
  • (3) prescribing specific performance, promotion, and tenure criteria for each of the three tenure-track faculty designations;
  • (4) extending the "tenure eligibility period" for academic investigators who have been promoted to associate professor but have not been awarded tenure within the requisite probationary period, to a term of eight years; and for clinician-investigators and clinician-educators who likewise have been promoted without earning tenure, to a term of ten years; and
  • WHEREAS these modifications, which are consistent with the principles of the American Association of University Professors as they pertain to faculty in university medical centers, are approved by the Faculty and the Dean of the School of Medicine, as well as the Vice President and Provost of Health Sciences;
  • RESOLVED that the modifications to the School of Medicine's Promotion and Tenure Policy be approved.
